Where I Belong. (Stopped)

Chapter 22: Doin' My Head In.

Tanya's POV.

"I'm really sorry about that, you know.." I muttered, with a smile, pressing a bag of frozen peas against Nathan's nose. It was red, a bit puffy and I think it even bled for a few minutes, but I wasn't really paying attention when that was happening --- blood is gross. Nathan gave me a weak smile.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." My eyebrows shot up, putting the peas down into my lap, looking at him in disbelief. "What?"

"Does this hurt?"

"Does what hu-" He let out a yelp as my finger lightly flicked the side of his nose. "Fuck!"

I tsked at him, "Naughty language sir."

"Well don't flick my nose!"

"You said it didn't hurt."

"I lied!"

"No shit Sherlock." I laughed, then scowled as I felt his finger flick my nose. "I'm not Ashlee Nath. I won't play that game with you."

Ashlee made a noise between a chuckle and clearing her throat as she walked into the kitchen. She had a smirk on her face, as she opened the fridge. "What's wrong with your face Nathan?"

He gave her a dirty look with a fake laugh, "Ha ha, at least I have an excuse for what's wrong with mine, when yours is just .... ugh." Ashlee laughed again, walking over to us.

She grabbed the peas from my hand then slammed them against Nathan's bruised nose. He let out a girlish yell, slapping the peas and Ashlee's hand away, jumping off his stool. "That fucking hurt!"

"Baby.." Ashlee rolled her eyes, handing me the peas again, then making her way back out of the kitchen with a can of soda. Nathan watched her leave with a scowl, then sat back down, rubbing his nose lightly.

"Please don't hurt my nose again." He pouted and I awed.

"C'mere." I grinned, and he leaned in and I kissed his nose. "There, all better."

"Tryin' to steal my girl Sykes?" Jay's laugh erupting through the kitchen. Nathan gave a childish grin with a nod.

"She's not even your girl yet, so she's fair game."

"Oh, you wanna go Sykes?" Jay asked, putting up his fists. "I'll go straight for your nose."

Nathan coward away, cupping his nose in his hands, "Please don't. It's already been flicked and attacked by frozen peas."

Jay looked at me with a quirked eyebrow. "Ash did the pea thing. I just flicked him." Jay's face grew with a grin.

"It's not funny." Nathan snapped. "It hurt. Both of them. They're evil."

"And you're stupid!" Ashlee yelled from the living room, with the laughter of Tom booming after it. I giggled a bit, then gave Nath a kiss on the cheek, handing him the peas.

"Here, keep it on your nose, it should be better in a few minutes..." I said, and he nodded, standing up, pressing the bag to his nose again.

His voice sounded high and nasally when he turned to Jay and I and said, "Remember, no sex in the kitchen, it's very unsanitary."

"Oh buzz off Nath." Jay rolled his eyes, his cheeks getting a bit pink as he nibbled on his lip. Nathan grinned, then made a buzzing nose, used his hands to make 'wings' then 'flew off' to the living room. Jay looked over at me, and shrugged, noticing the face I made, "You get used to it, don't worry."

"I sure hope so." Jay took Nathan's seat and sat down, smiling at me. "I feel like you want something." I looked at him skeptically.

"Are you free tonight?"
